... make it back to my beach hut only to have to fight off an evil cockroach who decided it wanted to share my bed. Koh Chang is a nice island, but not really that different to the other Thai Islands, Same Same as they say in Thailand. Blue water, white sand, green mountains, buckets, backpackers. You get the idea. I managed to sleep on ...

... il y a un seau d'eau a coté et un récipient pour la balancer dans les toilettes. C'était le même système dans ma chambre à Khao San Road. Par contre ici ils ne s'essuient pas avec la main gauche comme en inde ! Il y a du papier toilette partout mais comme en Amérique latine on ne le met pas dans la cuvette mais dans la poubelle. Tout est très propre partout. Les bus sont climatisés, les routes en béton et les cuisiniers en costumes avec des mains propres ! Un autre monde quoi ! Jeudi ...

... we were on the wrong side of the island - but oh well, everything got light slowly with colour spreading out across the sky so it was still pretty, even from the wrong side of the island. Thursday was once again spent lying on a beach recovering from new year. Friday we decided to go snorkeling, got up at 8am and were driven to the end of Ko Chang and put on a boat - the trip lasted for two hours before we reached our first stop - I slept for a lot of it which was good. I put ...

... her boobs to fill the sponges. I was the only one around watching, laughing and so I just had to take a picture of her. What the Dad came over for was to ask if we would like to come out in a boat with them to visit 4 islands, snorkel, fish and swim. Lunch is included in the price. We explain our plans for tomorrow and have to decline, but our conversation continues for awhile until he is called away to the phone. The two fishermen from England were over and ...

... in human company. Their owner had tried hard to maintain their enclosure and enrich their environment with toys, but she had come to understand that they were in need of specialised care and seemed almost embarrassed to have been keeping them in such inadequate conditions for so long. As I watched the older female macaque, Susi, reaching out of their enclosure to turn on a tap and allowing her young male companion Happy to drink before ...

... that hit our face. And with the boat speeding along full throttle those drops turned into little pellets being shot out of the sky. It really started to hurt - and we had no where to go. So we grabbed some life jackets and hid behind them for protection. As we arrived in Trat, it was hosing down - just like when we got off the bus. Sigh...... We grabbed a taxi to Trat township. I should mention these taxis are open-air vehicles where you sit on ...

... perfectly situated pool bar, we opted to sip cocktails at the end of our own little private bar at the end of our pool, next to the beach and the sea. Yup. You read all that right. So not even two hours into the lap of luxury in Rm 416, Kate and I decided we couldn't resist another day. I walked up to the lobby, smiled and winked at the manager and told her I wanted to surprise Kate with ...

... the quay told us that we had no choice on the island as far as accommodation was concerned as everywhere was full up due to the up and coming full moon which had attracted large numbers of foreigners in search of beach parties. Reluctantly we got in the back of her pickup and went off along a paved ribbon of road that ran through coconut plantations to Holiday Resort, the name of her establishment. Along the way she told me that most visitors to the island are German but at ...
